Development projects are rarely straightforward.
Tight deadlines, rising costs and unexpected roadblocks are par for the course.
In moments of pressure, having a funding partner who understands the pace and complexity of the industry can be the difference between momentum and gridlock.
For these developers, the Lambert Capital Property Credit Fund has been that partner, offering speed, certainty and a level of understanding that’s hard to find elsewhere.
Smart Moves and Straight Talk
When BivCorp’s latest East Oakleigh development started gaining traction, Michael Biviano didn’t go looking for a better finance deal - Lambert Capital brought one to him.
“The savings were significant. It made the project more viable and freed up funds for marketing,” he said.
That kind of proactive thinking is why Mr Biviano has worked with Lambert Capital for more than two decades.
He first approached Founder and Director Mark Greenberg in the late 1990s for funding on unit developments in Camberwell and Glen Waverley.
Over time, Mr Biviano has consolidated all his lending with Lambert Capital.
“I have one person at Lambert who oversees all my purchases, assets, and liabilities, advising me along the way,” he said.
Just as important, he says, is the personal connection and quick turnaround.
“I can pick up the phone and get clear, direct answers. The process is faster and far less bureaucratic than dealing with banks, where layers of approval slow everything down.”Three things, he says, make Lambert Capital stand out:
“The ease of securing finance, the depth of their knowledge and advice, and the way they proactively steer me toward opportunities I might otherwise miss.”
Building with Purpose, and the Right Partner
As Chief Impact Officer at Big Impact Group, Cheryl Leong is focused on delivering developments that foster connected communities and prioritise social and environmental sustainability.
But even the most mission-driven projects can hit snags.
“We had some very challenging periods in our project and Lambert Capital consistently ensured there was open communication and support for us,” Ms Leong said.
“They understood the challenges we were experiencing and would even provide suggestions on how to overcome them.”
Ms Leong was drawn to the Lamber Capital model.
“I knew that it was private lending through a fund and not brokering a deal,” she said.
That distinction made a real difference when timing was critical.
“Because they have funds ready to deploy, once we satisfied their requirements, they were able to move swiftly to fund our project,” she said.
She describes the team as patient and collaborative and says their understanding of the development process makes Lambert Capital a rare find.
“There are not many lenders that truly understand development nor care to build a relationship with the developer,” she said.
“Lambert Capital stands out in that aspect.”
